The torture and the pleasure

The torture and the pleasure of our physical bodies. You can "feel" needs and fulfilling satisfaction. Hunger is a state of need but there is even greater when you eventually tuck in to a desired meal. We are made so that reward follows desire so that pleasure follows hunger.

I don't know how to deal with these needs. I have a physical intimacy need an enormous, confusing whirlwind of desire. I don't desire a physical relief without some emotional intimacy.

So I live with this duality. Like the wave particle duality in quantum physics I sit in a superposition of states. Hope is a slim strand, but I clutch it anyway.
